I'd be happy with Stockdale, providing he does a good job.

If he was going to do a bad job, I wouldn't want him.

Quoted from Vance Warner
With Stockdale it's better the devil you know


We DON'T actually know him much at all.

Although I'm not normally a fan of hiring ex-players as managers, the injury-plagued full back who spent a season with us bears no resemblance whatever to the qualified and highly competent coach now operating at a premier league club!

We could do a hell of a lot worse than get this bloke on board.

I have given this managers job some thought and acting on due diligence (Fenty phrase). My preferred choice would be Adkins but I don't think he will come so I think Robbie Stockdale could just be the man to take us forward to the next level. (Fenty phrase)

You want him " in the building" before " the tide goes out".

So, for clarification, as we were promoted is the tide fully in or on the way in?

For me, the first and foremost consideration has to be: we don't get relegated back to the dreaded Conference.

Since PH has assembled a squad capable of holding its own in League 2, that suggests getting a manager willing to work with the squad he's got. Not some "I've been managing for 20 years...." type with fixed notions on the players he wants.
From what I read here (I know nothing!) Robbie Stockdale probably fits the bill on that one.

The advantage of having an ex-player coming in is that they are aware of (how shall I put this?)....the Grimsby fan mentality.
Hurst never came to terms with it IMO.

As has been pointed out, any appointment is a gamble. I'm old enough to remember Lawrie McMenemy being given the job - to which
the general reaction was "Who - and he hasn't played the game...!?".

I'd have thought Stockdale warrants serious consideration, and if there's a clearly better applicant we'd be well fortunate.

Ebbed to low water, turned and is in flow again, but still out near Haile Sands fort.
